I graduated from UCLA with a BS in Mathematics and a M.Ed in Teaching. Teaching has always been my passion, ever since I was an undergraduate student. I have extensive teaching experiences in a variety of math levels. I enjoy working with young people so they can be inspired to pursue math/science related fields in the future. I am also an experienced Mandarin instructor and would love to help you learn my language.

...from different age groups. I was employed as a part-time lecturer in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at Rutgers this spring semester. I taught Mandarin Chinese to college students at intermediate and advanced levels. Though the college setting is different from K-12, I tried to utilize the theories and methods that I learned from the graduate school, as well as from observations and my prior experience to create a positive, interactive learning environment...

...challenge students to explore knowledge through open-minded discussion. It is also my duty to encourage students to take responsibilities for their own learning. Each student approaches the learning process with a set of attitude based on individual beliefs, values, and emotions. It is my duty to establish mutual understanding with each individual student, to encourage critical thinking, and to transfer learning into positive impact. It is also my duty to adapt each lesson and assignment...

...I have two degrees of teaching Chinese as a second language and teaching English as a second language. With my background I have more experience with some problems that non-native Chinese speakers could have. I have been teaching Chinese with non-native speakers for two years, and recently I have been teaching Chinese with little kids. I've found that before age 6, kids can quickly and correctly learn tones, and after 6 they can learn characters...

...as University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign academic services centers. Currently, I volunteer as a writing advisor and tutor at a local nonprofit organization focused on expanding creative writing skills through workshops and after-school programming. In my tutoring experiences, I have found that the process of tutoring others is a personal learning opportunity for me as well. Each student is unique in his/her learning approach and tutoring forces me to see problems through the eyes of...

...Mandarin, and biology. Instilling confidence in my students is my top priority and I believe understanding a student’s learning style is paramount to effective teaching: I will get to know my students so that I can help them succeed. I have tutored English as a second language and writing before, and I love to teach Chinese and biology too. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, creating art, dancing, and enjoying the natural beauty...

...the concepts of the subject, practice and master the knowledge, and then apply it to real world situations. Organization in the teaching and learning of the subject plays an important role. I hope that students result in mastering and appreciating the subject. On my own time, I enjoy working out at the gym, playing the Chinese hammered dulcimer and a wide variety of Chinese drum sets, travelling to new places, and trying new food.

Learning a language should be fun and enjoyable. This should not only include learning how to speak, read, and write, but also ways of thinking, communicating and expressing oneself. Let the doors be open!... It will be based on the student's needs; each individual is unique and learns differently, and my teaching style changes from student to student. To listen more, to feel more and to respond to student's strength and weakness are my big focus; to find the "teacher" within themselves is my primary goal. I don't teach the subject; I teach the way to learn and to think.

...has just graduated from the University of Arizona with my BA in Linguistics. My minors are Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. I was born in Germany, and speak fluent German. I have always had a love and interest for languages, and my goal is to encourage students to also embrace foreign languages, and hopefully ignite a spark for second-language learning all kinds of different people. Learning a second, third, or even fourth language can be an...

I have tutored a range of subjects at the middle school and high school levels. I am currently a graduate student at MIT in a dual-Master's program (MBA + MS mechanical engineering). I worked in renewable energy and energy policy for several years after obtaining my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT. I enjoy rock climbing, running, and playing outside in all kinds of weather.
